Lyrics:
Ven mir zenen tsum rebn geforn,
Oy, vey, tsum rebn geforn
Hot er undz gevintshevet oyf lange yorn,
Oy, la-ba-ba-ba-bay
Un ven mir zenen tsum rebn gekumen,
Oy, vey, tsum rebn gekumen
Hot er ba undz di hant genumen, oy...
Ober maskilim - neyn, neyn, neyn
Zey kenen gornit freylekh zayn, zayn, zayn
Es tsitern di glider far undzere brider
Zey kenen gornit freylekh zayn,
Ober mir...
leybedik un lustik un breyt-brustik
Hepen un zingen un tantsn un shpringen
A zup fun a koyse, a moytse a groyse
Oy, vos ken nokh beser zayn
Ober mir talmidimlekh, dem rebns khasidim,
Oy, vey, dem rebns khasidim
Ba undz geyt ales tsu in fridn, oy...
Ober undzere koshere vayblekh,
Oy, vey, koshere vayblekh
Gibn undz esn gebrotene tayblekh, oy...
Ober maskilim ...

Truly beautiful to see Arkady Gendler showcased in this way. I love his sincerity. This song was originally a maskilic satire of the Chasidim, sighing over their kosher wives who fed them little roasted doves, but he transforms it into a tribute.

"Ober maskilim... neyn, neyn, neyn,
Zey kenen gornit freylekh zayn...."
Dieses lustiges Volklied hâtte vielleicht Moses Mendelssohn und maskilim nicht gefallen....lol....
